An Iranian ballistic missile that killed three people in Haifa overnight hit the Bazan oil refinery complex in the northern city, which is permitted for publication.
Rescuers had attempted for hours to reach the three missing people, who were buried under rubble during the attack on the northern city. A fire also broke out at the location, complicating rescue operations.
An Iranian missile attack a night earlier on Haifa caused “localized damage” at the oil facility.
